Obesity Care

Obesity is a chronic disease that drives higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, and other costly conditions, and it disproportionately affects the low-income, minority, and rural communities HECCD was founded to serve. We advocate for equitable access to the full range of evidence-based obesity treatments so that where someone lives or what they earn doesn’t decide whether they can get the care they need and deserve.
